I'm getting pretty ambitious for this round. At work, I'm playing Mario & Luigi Super Star Saga as well. Maybe I will finally actually finish this game. Then I suddenly had an urge to play Turok Dinosaur Hunter at home and said "You know what? I want to finish this too."

Like so what if it's the most stereotypical setup. All that means is that you figured out how to play the game pretty well. Like, that wouldn't be Bartz's (heh) stereotypical setup if it weren't a good setup.

I think Bartz is funny, because back in high school I worked for a party/costume chain shop called Bartz's. It was a mom-and-pop version of those stupid Hallowe'en megastores that blow up around Hallowe'en. They sold masks, and novelties, and trickeries.

...I got a lot of my bad biz from Bartz's. I had an older co-worker who taught me how to fan a deck, and do card tricks, and run a three-card monte. Some of it's merely showoffy, and some of it's actually cheaty, but ain't none of it good.

(EDIT:...you know, just knowing how to do bad stuff isn't inherently bad. Knowing how to do a three-card monte doesn't make you a con artist, any more than knowing what would go into a murder makes you a murderer. I've been lookin at stuff wrong, man.

Turns out that my plan for Bartz is actually, like, the most stereotypical setup for Bartz in the FFV fandom. (Dual Wield - Spell Blade - Rapid Fire). But I came up with it on my own, so, nyeeehhh.[/QUOTE]

huh. interesting. I had him Dual Wield but also use Time magic. I never really used the Mystic Knight job for anybody. I had Krile use Rapid Fire. Faris was the Black Mage/Thief/Red Mage.I had Lenna master White Mage and Summoner.

^Hey Deku, you might be interested to know that the Golden Sun speedrunning community has basically all decided to run the game with save files that start immediately after the intro, which is 39 minutes of gameplay even in a speedrun. lel. Either way, I hope you're enjoying the game now. It's a childhood favorite of mine.

It is much better now. I'm sort of amazed they make you get through all that before you really get to take the wheel and play. Like, it was the first game in the series, it didn't have built-in goodwill to ask for that kind of patience. Maybe it was a GBA era problem, because I owned Sword of Mana once and quit that game forever after the opening cutscene.
